Recently I have progressed to gain my 2nd cat cycling license this enables me to compete on a national level which means competing at a high national level on a regular basis racing and competing against full time pro riders on a more regular basis. As a completely self funded athlete to race at this level gets increasingly hard trying to work a full time job around the training requirement's and having to use all of my annual leave entitlement to go and race. To get some support to enable me to continue to be competitive at this level and get to race abroad in more prestigious events would be huge for me and my search to get into an elite team.
